Description
In the dreamer’s dream, the dreamed one awoke.— Borges “I exist between the heavens and earth, in the sunlight, in the wind, and in dreams.” One night, Yu Hao, a college student who was at his wits’ end had an unexpected encounter with a mysterious visitor – “General” – who had dream travelled. He led Yu Hao in solving the countless riddles that abounded in the realm of the conscious, and lit up the fire beacons on the meandering Great Wall. Thereafter, the darkness retreated, the sun rose, and when the long night was thoroughly lit up, the him who existed in reality was reborn. The black dragon that roared, the lighthouse and demonic eye on the coastline, the rain forest before Chichén Itzá, the fierce beasts that wreaked havoc in the Colosseum…the bizarre projection of reality in one’s consciousness reflected the hidden place that the sunlight in reality couldn’t touch – the innumerable sins of the human heart. The journey of seizing dreams continues, and one can only hope that the sun will continue illuminating the human heart. —— Fire beacons on the Great Wall were lit up to signal a border invasion.

My Thoughts on Seizing Dreams
"Seizing Dreams" has been quite the ride! Diving into this novel, I was immediately struck by its unique premise: exploring the subconscious through fantastical dreamscapes. It's a blend of fantasy, psychology, and slice-of-life that, when it works, is truly captivating.
First Impressions
Initially, the summary felt a bit confusing, and the opening chapters were heavy, dealing with the MC Yu Hao's struggles. He's down on his luck, facing accusations and battling suicidal thoughts. However, I decided to stick with it, and I'm glad I did. The introduction of the "General" and the dream world really grabbed my attention.
What Works Well
The dreamscapes are a definite highlight. They're visually stunning and creatively reflect the dreamer's fears and hopes. I loved how the action within these dream worlds tied directly to the characters' real-life experiences and traumas. The author tackles sensitive topics like abuse and mental health with a depth that resonated with me.
Yu Hao's character development is also a strong point. Watching him grow from a withdrawn, self-sacrificing individual to someone who accepts help and communicates his needs was genuinely heartwarming. The side characters are also well-developed, each with their own quirks and backstories that make them feel like real people. I found myself invested in their struggles and triumphs. The novel has moments of laugh-out-loud humor, which helps to balance the heavier themes. And the translation is top-notch, adding to the overall enjoyment.
Areas of Concern
The relationship between Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng (the General) is a bit divisive. While many adore their dynamic, I can see why some find it toxic. Zhou Sheng can be overbearing, possessive, and prone to anger, which sometimes overshadows his caring side. The power imbalance in their relationship is also a valid concern. It's not a deal-breaker for me, but it's something to be aware of going in.

Final Verdict
Despite some flaws, "Seizing Dreams" is a worthwhile read. Its unique premise, well-developed characters, and exploration of complex themes make it stand out. If you're looking for a novel that blends fantasy with real-world issues and don't mind some potentially problematic relationship dynamics, I'd recommend giving it a shot.
